I have these little bumps, not zits, pimples, moles, or anything. They are the color of my skin, and they just stick out. The only way they turn red is if i pick at them and they become irratated. I used to have them on my face, but not as much now. You can definatly see them and they drive me crazy because they are not attractive. I do wash my face and arms but they are just there. I was born with them and have had them for as long as i can remember. What can i do and what are they???

they could be keratosis pilaris, which is what i have, and it sounds like what you have. 'lac-hydrin' cream is the most recommended 'cure' but that never worked for me, but if it didn't work for anyone i don't think they'd recommend it, so you should try that. moisturizing makes them stand out less for me. i also just started trying hydrocortisone cream and i'll let you know if that helps at all.

I believe it is a very common thing. My little girls have those bumps on their legs etc.. the Dr. said it will probably continue throughout their life and a eally good hydrating lotion is the best per the DR. Also, there is something over the counter called Amlactin that I believe has some ointment in it while being a hydrating kind of lotion too.

Use a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) treatment to clear out your pores. The best one (best skincare line, too) is Paula's Choice Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA.

allot of people have this. It is not something you can,t cure with normal products you find in the market. To have these cured, you can have them freezed and cut off or have a medical cream from your doctor. This is called chicken skin. it also has a scientific name wich i forgot O.o

I have that too! I am not exactly sure what they are, but go to a dermatoligist, and ask him/her. They will prescript something, use it ALOT- trust me it works!
